Black and Blue

I’m inside out like an animal

Concise cut on the killing floor

Drag me up to the hooks

Let me hang ‘till my blood runs cold

Chewing my fingers black and blue

Trying to be closer to you

Lost in a madness

Scattered gone

Trying to find my way back home

 

An empty mask hangs upon the wall

I push it over my face and go

Into the black where my sirens call

And play the part they’ve been longing for

’Til my mask is worn

Until my blood runs

My blood runs cold

Chewing my fingers black and blue

Trying to be closer to you

Lost in a madness

Scattered gone

Trying to find my way back home

Way back home

Way back home

Way back home

 

Just a few more words, one or two things left to say

I wish things were different and I wish that I could stay

And as the curtains close, the ending of today

Its crawling craving so before I turn away

Can I stay?

Can I stay?

Can I stay?

Way back home
